Book: Earth! My First 4.54 Billion Years by Stacy McAnulty
Song: “This is the Way to Help our Mother Earth” (Tune: “Mulberry Bush”)
This is the way we pick up trash,
Pick up trash, pick up trash.
This is the way we pick up trash
To help our Mother Earth.
This is the way we turn off the light,
We turn off the light, we turn off the light,
This is the way we turn off the light,
To help our Mother Earth.
This is the way we plant a seed,
Plant a seed, plant a seed,
This is the way we plant a seed,
To help our Mother Earth.

Song: “Tree Song” (Tune: “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”)
Leaves, branches, trunk and roots (and roots)
Leaves, branches, trunk and roots (and roots)
Trees are important to you and to me
Leaves, branches, trunk and roots (and roots)
Movements:
Hands and fingers are the leaves – wiggle high in the air
Move arms straight out for the branches
Touch upper body with hands when saying “trunk”
Touch legs when saying “roots”
